Community Composting

What is Community Composting?

Picture
Community Composting is a contained compost system for multiple families or for a community such as a school, a garden, members of an organization, etc., who organize a compost committee, a compost manager, and any other organizers who manage the site. Participants receive training before participating in the project, and have clear guidelines about how to use the system.
